GO DIRECT has been in good form since arriving from Gauteng. He has put in two smart performances at this course already and is bred for this step up in trip today. From pole position, he is a strong se- lection for first. FIRE IN THE BELLY finished just behind the top selection in his latest start and he should strip much fitter today with this being his second run after a rest. He will be a big danger again, if repeating that last effort. PLANO has dropped further in the ratings and looks set for a big run over this trip. He is on slightly better terms compared to his last start where he finished just behind the top two selections and with Hewitson up, must be considered. FRIKKIE has found solid form since returning from a rest 3 starts back. He too is on slightly better weight terms to the top two & if staying the trip, can upset here.
